INTRODUCTION

Risk & Needs Assessment, Inc. Tests

Four juvenile court tests are presented on this website. There is a navigational link in the left margin that takes you directly to each tests discussion on this website. Some visitors will go directly to the test that is of interest to them, whereas others will read the entire webpage.

Risk & Needs Assessment, Inc.

Each of these four juvenile assessment instruments or tests is designed for a specific juvenile population.  Each test has a “Truthfulness Scale” to identify problem minimization and attempts to “fake good.”  Each test also has an Alcohol Scale and a Drugs Scale to identify substance use and measure the severity of abuse.  Each of these tests also has other important measures or scales that are designed specifically for the troubled youth population they will be used to evaluate.

SEVERITY OF ABUSE

Each of these juvenile court tests measure the severity of use or abuse. For example, the Alcohol Scale measures the severity of alcohol use or abuse, whereas the Drugs Scale measures the severity of drug use or abuse. Measuring substance abuse severity is important because it enables evaluators to match problem severity with treatment intensity. And we now know that this is a necessary prerequisite for treatment effectiveness.

NAVIGATIONAL LINKS

The format for each of the "juvenile court" tests presented in this website is essentially the same.  Each tests discussion begins with the tests description, review of the tests "unique features," provision of important navigational links (example report, cost, free 2-test examination kit and a "test comparison checklist"), and a test related research discussion.  An "example test report" is presented for review and each tests discussion concludes with important "convenience links."
